SPUG:new mascot?

Perl 6 RFC 343 ( http://dev.perl.org/rfc/343.pod ) suggests that a new
non-camel mascot be chosen to represent the Perl community (unless
O'Reilley would be willing to freely allow the camel to be used).
Does anyone know anything beyond what's stated in that RFC? Ie, has
O'Reilley been approached, what did they say, and what alternate mascots
are being considered?
